The simulations were validated through measurements of return loss and peak gain up to 400 °C, along with radiation pattern measurements up to 300 °C, marking this study as the first high-temperature radiation pattern measurement of a ground-signal-ground (GSG) probed SiC-based on-chip antenna. We report a sapphire resonator coupled to a slot on a 4H-SiC substrate, fed using a grounded coplanar waveguide, and impedance matched by a series stub inductor. The DRA operates in the fundamental TE111 mode for broadside radiation at 28.8 GHz to 30.6 GHz. We implement edge corrugations, significantly enhancing efficiency by suppressing surface waves and beam shaping to achieve a higher gain. The proposed antenna was fabricated in-house and measured using a modified probe station and a robot arm. The simulated gain and peak total efficiency of 8.52 dBi and 91.5%, respectively, agree with the measured values of 8.47 dBi and 90.5%. The antenna is demonstrated to have a stable reflection coefficient and radiation pattern up to 300 °C with less than 0.5 dBi reduction in peak gain.","PeriodicalId":51059,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters","volume":"24 9","pages":"2879-2883"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quadrifilar helix antenna (QHA) is designed with two sets of helices of different pitches integrated into a single structure. The lower QHA features a smaller pitch, while the upper QHA has a larger pitch. These helices are stacked and wound around the same dielectric support cylinder, forming a compact and efficient antenna configuration. The lower and upper helices are interconnected using p-i-n diodes, enabling the reconfigurable operation of the proposed QHA. By controlling the on/off states of the radiating arms through the p-i-n diodes, the antenna can switch between GEO and LEO satellite communication modes seamlessly. The innovation lies in sharing the feed network for both the dc control signal of the p-i-n diodes and the RF signal, which effectively eliminates the need for additional dc bias lines, thereby minimizing the impact of the dc control circuit on the antenna’s radiation performance. Additionally, a miniaturized broadband quad-phase power dividing network based on a multilayer structure of wide-edge coupled striplines is designed and implemented at the base of the QHA, which enables circular polarization at both bands. The measured results show that good impedance matching (<italic>S11<−15dB) and axial ratio (AR < 0.5 dB) are obtained. Additionally, the gain is greater than −3 dBi within ±80° beam range at L band and 1 dBi within ±45° beam range at S band, respectively. The proposed QHA is a good candidate for dual-mode satellite communications.","PeriodicalId":51059,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters","volume":"24 9","pages":"2839-2843"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing estimation strategies for PLE mostly consider scenarios of free-space transmission and rely on information exchange between transmitters and receivers. These approaches have limitations, such as high costs, low security, and insufficient consideration of complex environments. This letter, based on the geometric path loss distribution model in wireless random networks established in (Hu 2024), implements a joint analysis and estimation of PLE and shadowing variance, taking into account shadowing effects and without transmitter’s location. First, the objective function is formulated using maximum likelihood estimation. Due to the complexity of the objective function’s mixed second-order characteristics, the first-order and second-order properties of the objective function with respect to each variable are analyzed sequentially. Finally, through extensive simulation experiments and comparisons with Cramér–Rao lower bound, the consistency and effectiveness of the theoretical analysis and experimental results are verified.","PeriodicalId":51059,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters","volume":"24 9","pages":"2864-2868"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144998118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technique is demonstrated in both indoor and outdoor environments with a 2.5 GHz <inline-formula><tex-math>$1times2$</tex-math></inline-formula> patch antenna array with <inline-formula><tex-math>$0.5lambda$</tex-math></inline-formula> spacing with an amplitude imbalanced feed using a Wilkinson divider and an in-series double-pole-double-throw (DPDT) RF switch. Switching the outputs of the divider rapidly between the two antenna inputs induces an electrical motion of the phase center along the axis of the array, creating directional modulation that increases the bit error ratio (BER) towards undesired directions, but maintains zero BER at the desired direction. Traditional phase weighting can be used to steer the uncorrupted information to an arbitrary direction. Wireless communication security is demonstrated using 16-QAM modulation transmitted in 48-kbit bursts. The data stream is a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) transmitted at a rate of 4 Mb/s. The DPDT RF switch was driven three orders of magnitude slower at a rate of 1 kHz. The communication system operated at a minimum SNR of 25 dB so that any bit errors were due to the phase and amplitude dynamics, and not due to low SNR. The dynamic array obtained a low BER of <inline-formula><tex-math>$10^{-3}$</tex-math></inline-formula> within an information beam of <inline-formula><tex-math>$25^circ$</tex-math></inline-formula> at broadside, and <inline-formula><tex-math>$sim45^circ$</tex-math></inline-formula> when the array is steered to <inline-formula><tex-math>$pm 30^circ$</tex-math></inline-formula>, while a traditional static array yielded low BER at all angles (no wireless security.","PeriodicalId":51059,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters","volume":"24 9","pages":"2711-2715"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144998276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To realize multibeam operation, three groups of symmetrical strip-shaped pixels are integrated with the feed antenna, the connection state of which can be controlled by p-i-n diode. Leveraging the reconfigurable parasitic configuration, the coupling path of the antenna can be strategically manipulated, achieving the desired multibeam property. Thus, by utilizing the PPS structure in conjunction with a planar quasi-Yagi antenna, this single antenna can operate at four states with beam direction toward 40°, −40°, 0°, along with a dual-beam at ±45°, within the frequency range from 5.0 GHz to 5.6 GHz. Moreover, a prototype of a 1 × 2 array with the PPS structure is also fabricated to achieve six beams with a scan range of 40°, 20°, 0°, −20°, −40° and a dual beam at ±30°. Notably, only four p-i-n diodes are utilized to implement six radiations, verifying that this approach effectively minimizes the excessive use of switches and extends the variety of beams, which provides a low complexity method for multibeam array antenna without a complicated beamforming network. These antennas satisfy the benefits of wideband, planner structure, low structural complexity, low cost, and flexible beam control.","PeriodicalId":51059,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters","volume":"24 7","pages":"2124-2128"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
